A fabulous way of buying into India through the Canadian market if you want to be there, and want to use the expertise of the Fairfax group. They are putting together corporations, and buying companies with a sort of chemical slant to them, but in an environmentally acceptable way. This ought to continue to do better.

An actively managed basket of Indian stocks. There is higher cost from the active management and from an index ETF. In the long run the currency has dragged a little on your returns. He thinks it will stabilize going forward. He thinks this will be a fantastic growth area of the world.

An ETF that holds Indian companies. There are 2 ways to play India. You can buy an ETF or you can go in and buy a particular stock. You may be buying things that the index doesn’t show, but that this company has access to.

This has been a smoking index. The trend has been up, and is a little parabolic right now, meaning it is a little overbought, but not hugely dangerous. It wouldn’t surprise him if it returned to near the trend line. There is nothing to not like with this particular fund.

Prem Watsa for a long time has wanted to build a major business in India. He knows that the key success factor in building a business in India is the partners that he partners with. If anyone can do it, Prem probably can. For anyone looking at international exposure, this is probably not a bad one to take a hard look at.

If you buy this, you are really buying 2 things. Your faith in Prem Watsa and his ability to manage a more complex array of companies, and growth in India. The key to doing business in India is having the right partners or the right businesses. From a multiple point of view, this looks quite reasonable. For people looking for international diversification, this may be the way to do that.

This is really a bet on Prem Watsa and his management. He has been a very good manager and has wanted to build a presence in India for some time. The key to doing business in India is, who do you partner with. From what he has read, Prem has picked some very, very good partners. This is an economy that is growing and maturing, perhaps growing a little more slowly than what people had anticipated. If looking at something like this for a long term, he would certainly bet for Prem to be successful.

IPO’d in 2014. They raised $1 billion with the premise being they were going to take the money and buy public and private securities in India. They have made several transactions. It is going to evolve and they are probably going to raise additional money to make more acquisitions, however, it is tough to get a handle on because the businesses are relatively opaque and disclosure is not all that good. If anything, he would be inclined to wait for a pullback and buy it at a discount to NAV. However, if you are looking at this as an emerging market, he thinks the fundamentals are fine.

This is a decent entry point because most of the Indian market has been in the doldrums for a while, because of the reflection of the weaker currency plus all the emerging-market pressure that the country is facing right now.

Was at $10.80 last November when it started breaking down, and is now back to that level. Not a huge trader, but from a technical perspective It looks like it wants to Hold in right about here, otherwise it is probably going to visit that $9.60 range.

Likes India. It was the fastest growing economy in the world last year and is going to be again this year. Thinks it is going to replace China as the growth engine. If you have a small amount of capital and want some diversification, this is certainly one way to play it.
